Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter

1 cup chopped almonds (toasted if desired)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Add Coconut and Almonds: Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped almonds into the yogurt mixture. Ensure that everything is well incorporated.

      Line a Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

        Pour Mixture: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

          Make the Almond Butter Swirl: In a small bowl, gently warm the almond butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Spoon dollops of almond butter on top of the yogurt mixture and use a knife or skewer to swirl it together for a marbled effect.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

              Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: When ready to serve, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

                Cut and Serve: Remove the contents from the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Enjoy as a refreshing frozen dessert!
